“I chose to study hospitality at MIT because it’s a huge industry with so many career opportunities all over the world.

I’m studying hospitality, which covers many different areas including, front of house, bartending, housekeeping, and serving. We studied events and had to organise and manage our own events. There’s a lot to learn, and the practical side of the course gives you a strong foundation to enter the workforce.

As a dad of two young children, it has been challenging to study while helping to support my family. However, I’ve already got a job at the Great Catering Company, which uses the skills I’ve developed during my studies and helps my family, so I couldn’t be happier. This role also allows me to do what I love — serving and talking to people.”
